the couple got lost after watching the valentine's day sun set together. >> we heard someone say help and we looked and said that's them. >> they had been expecting sad news. teams were switching from a rescue to a recovery operation. so the message they were found alive was miraculous. >> i screamed and my wife came running in. i was in the closet and she's like, what, what, what? i said they found them and they're alive. >> everyone who was thinking about them, who was searching for them has reached out to me and my family about them, thank yo you. >> just the greatest news. we have more details now. we want to give you a closer look at the area these hikers navigated. you can see how rugged the terrain is. between sir francis drake boulevard which goes out to the national sea shore and tumulus

coalition, which is going to not only win in nevada, it's going to sweep this country. >> reporter: long-time democrats calling the nevada vote a defining moment in the campaign. >> you think there's one big, huge screaming story tonight here, and that is there is a front-runner. it has changed in this race. >> reporter: for the other candidates it sounds like there's no change in their commitment or resolve. >> we're alive and we're coming back, and we're going to win. >> as usual, i think we have exceeded expectations. >> we have a lot of states to go and right now, i can feel the momentum. so, let's stay in this fight. >> we are moving on from the battle-born state with a battle on our hands. >> reporter: a battle that intensifies quickly now with a primary next weekend in south carolina, followed by super tuesday a few days later when voters from 14 states will go to the polls.

jay gray, nbc news, las vegas. early voting for the california primary started across the state this weekend. voting centers across the bay area are now open as well. the centers will have workers available to help folks register or vote. you can also drop off your ballot at your local center. all other centers will be open for three days before the primary. the california primary, of course, is about nine days from now, tuesday, march 3rd. our website is a great resource as you prepare to cast your ballot. complete voter guide highlights every issue in the bay area county. continuing our coverage of the deadly coronavirus, the latest numbers now, the outbreak that began in china has killed more than 2300 people so far. it's infected some 78,000 worldwide. 35 of those cases of infection

are right here in the u.s. just yesterday, the u.s. government raised the travel alert for japan now to a level two, calling for increased caution as the virus continues to spread. the big concern is that health officials aren't sure how or where people are becoming infected. also an escalating battle over the fast-spreading coronavirus in orange county. the cdc planned on transferring 32 patients from travis air force base to a developmental center in coasta costa mesa. on friday a district judge granted costa mesa a temporary restraining order stopping the transport of any coronavirus patients to costa mesa. yesterday community leaders blasted the plan. >> this isn't just about costa mesa, this is about our orange county region and we are all

united in addressing this, what we think is a public health crisis here in our community. >> community leaders also questioned why what they describe as a densely populated area would be the chosen relocation site for coronavirus patients. 7:09. much more ahead on "today in the bay." we go live to washington to talk with chuck todd and get a preview of this week's ""meet the press." filmmaker, actor and long-time republican. clint eastwood says he's shifting his support for president. the new candidate he's now supporting. vo: a problem solver

for president. that's mike bloomberg. a middle class kid who built a global company from scratch. mayor of new york, rebuilding the city after the 9-11 terrorist attack, creating 450,000 jobs. running for president - and on a roll. workable plans to deliver on better health care. affordable college. job creation. common sense plans to beat trump, fix the chaos in washington, and get things done. mike: i'm mike bloomberg and i approve this message.

welcome back to you. we are joined in the studio with our political analyst and it's time for our weekly chat with chuck todd, moderator of "meet the press." hi, chuck. as always, we look forward to seeing you. thanks for joining us this

morning. voters caucused in nevada yesterday, bernie sanders being announced the winner of the third contest in the 2020 democratic primary. what are your key takeaways this morning? >> i think the big one is the fact that bernie sanders' coalition now includes latino voters, at least latinos out west. i say out west because hispanic voters in florida, a little different, hispanic voters in the northeast a little bit different, so we can't make assumptions. but certainly doing well with latinos in nevada, i think, foreshadows doing well with latino voters in california. what it says to me is that bernie sanders is well on his way to, at a minimum, if nothing else improves for him going forward, he will be the leading delegate guy going into the convention, because california and texas, the type of latino voters that bernie sanders did well with in nevada are all over

texas and california and both of those being super tuesday states, huge delegate hauls. it really does put him in the driver's seat to have the most delegates going into the convention. >> recent reports have ongoing reports of russian influence of both bernie sanders and the trump campaign. what do you see this going forward into the process? >> it's a tricky thing for the candidates. they have to be careful here. this is one of those things that could only rally people around sanders a little bit, if it looks like they're using it too much. i think it's potentially one of these things that can divide the party in an uncomfortable way, maybe perhaps that's why it ended up leaking out as aggressively as it seemed to leak out from the administration, because it really does put the democrats in this weird box. you've got joe biden, who in many ways is -- wants to say

hey, look, russia is so afraid of me, look what they've been doing. but then if you sit here and attack sanders over it and he ends up the nominee, that becomes self reinforcing, too. i think this really just puts the democratic party in a real bind, this news going public like this. >> talking about president trump, he says that former national security adviser john bolton is a traitor because the new book contains classified material that should not appear until after the election. is this about national security or the president protecting controversial behavior? and if it's so highly classified, why after the election? >> that's exactly right. i think he gave it away about the election, that it has nothing to do with classification. look, john bolton, anyone who knows him, this guy understands the bureaucracy as well as anybody in this country, knows what would get flagged for being classified and what isn't. he is well aware of it.

so the idea that he included classified information in his book is probably very remote, considering his experience with dealing with this. and he has written books in the past about his experience, serving in an administration. he's well aware of how this works. look, it is more and more with what he's doing with john bolton's book, what he did at dni, both last summer, which of course led to the impeachment in the whistle-blower report. now he's doing it again over the reporting of russian interference. it certainly makes it harder to make the case that the president is trying to stop russian interference. in some ways, he seems to almost want to embrace the idea that it is out in the ether, even if he doesn't believe it. >> very interesting. chuck, we always wish we had more time with you. we look forward to the next six days and then seeing you next sunday to talk over it all again. chuck, thank you so much for

joining us. >> thank you. >> we do hope you tune in to chuck this morning for "meet the press." he will be joined by mark short chief of staff to vice president mike pence. larry will be back for our weekly political segment in about 40 minutes from now. we will take a look at this seemingly impressive win for bernie sanders. people are saying it really draws a line between him and the rest of the candidates. plus more on the possible russian interference. so much to cover, larry. see you soon. >> we'll be busy. >> we'll be busy. thanks so much. long-time republican clint eastwood is shifting his report from president donald trump to democratic candidate mike bloomberg. in an interview with "the wall street journal" the actor/director says while he approves of some things president trump has done, he wishes that the president would act more like a gentleman

without tweeting and calling people names. eastwood went on to say, quote, the best thing we could do is just get mike bloomberg in there, end quote. eastwood never officially endorsed president trump but praised him for his brash and controversial style back in 2016. turning now to the 2020 world championship, first-time gold under the u.s. banner for a bobsledder. kaylie humphries made the switch from team canada in 2019 after filing a verbal abuse and harassment claim after a coach. she said she didn't feel safe with the program anymore. today she ended recent german dominance in bobsledding. she won two olympic titles and now has three world titles under her belt. nbc bay area is your official home for the 2020 summer olympics in tokyo. the games run from july 24th to august 9th.

fog. colder through the north bay. 36 degrees. so, what happened last night? we had the winds start to kick up and then we saw a cooldown. the fog and visibility right now is down to a quarter of a mile. we have this nice, onshore flow. what does that even mean? basically it brings in the cool air from the ocean that cools our temperatures down. lot of times it also kicks up our wind, which is why if you were out late last night you probably certainly noticed the breezy winds start to pick up and the drop in temperatures. similar conditions as well when it comes to the temperatures. it's still going to be mild. temperatures will continue to cool this afternoon. live look right now at satellite and radar, no rain in sight. we'll continue with the dry weather. microclimate highs will range from the upper 50s through the upper 60s for the interior valley. outlook for bay area skies, partly clear. slower to clear for the coastline. 59 degrees in san francisco.

63 in oakland, 65 for san jose and upper 60s in through antioch. what do we have in store? in terms of the breezy wind, it will remain breezy but not as gusty. we certainly saw some gusts for the hill areas, east bay. redwood city, 15 miles per hour. we might see an area where it starts to pick up right around 2:00, 3:00. and then it starts to die down as we head in toward monday. how is that pollen report doing when it comes to your allergies? juniper, ragweed and mold are fairly low. you'll certainly need that lernl medici allergy medicine. we certainly need the rain. as we head in toward monday, high pressure will rebuild near the coast. it's going to shoot our temperatures up into the 70s, even in areas like san francisco. keep that dry warmer weather pattern through wednesday. as you head in toward thursday and friday, more clouds and

cooling. as of now, models are showing no promises when it comes to rain for the last week of february, heading into the first weekend of march. likely it will remain dry. little wind will pick up, passing to the north heading into saturday and sunday. long-range outlook, next chance of rain could be in toward march. by march i mean mid march. warm-up heading into monday, 68. tuesday and wednesday, 72, 75 and up to 76, maybe even warmer in inland areas. it's going to be a beautiful sunday ahead. kira? >> we'll wait patiently for that rain. enjoy the beautiful weather meantime, vianey, thanks. coming up, bay area high school students are sending robots halfway across the globe. we'll tell you about the important lesson it's providing for school children in africa. tom steyer will beat donald

"today in the bay" garvin thomas will show us how local teenagers are helping school children in africa in this morning's "bay area proud." >> when they first started robotics, they say they weren't very good but they didn't get discouraged. in fact, they ended up inspired to help others. >> there is a secret in the world of student robotic competition. technology is not the most important thing being taught. it may, in fact, be well down the list after teamwork, problem solving and leadership. >> become a better leader. >> at least that's how grace

feels about it. grace and zach, now high school freshmen, were sixth graders at st. katherine school of morgan hill started a robotics team and they signed on. >> we started bottom of the bottom. like we barely had moving robots getting into our first competition. >> reporter: they got much better. as their skill grew, so did their desire to share what they were learning and grace had one place in particular in mind. >> this school in gana has kind of a connection to a priest who was at this school and so i had been doing robotics. i was like, what if we started a robotics program at this school? >> reporter: grace and zach proposed the program, and made the trip, training teachers and students how to use them. >> the happiest thing, i've seen

these kids learn from it. they have so much talent. >> it was a lot of fun for us and then also this is a program that can be like carried on for many years at this school. >> reporter: what's even better is that grace and zach have now inspired others to follow their lead. current st. katherine students jenny and faith have similar missions to local schools lacking the resources to fund their own program. >> when you build your own robot, you're super proud of it and stuff. when you see someone else building it, you feel like -- you feel so much more accomplished. >> reporter: grace and zach say one of the best things was surprising to students in gana. they didn't know when zach and grace left, all the robotics kids, they stayed. garvin thomas, nbc bay area news. >> what inspiration to other

this is over walnut creek. toward the afternoon, clearing once again. our current temperatures are fairly mild, down to the south bay. not as cold. santa rosa and napa. we'll continue to see that onshore flow that will cool our daytime highs down a few degrees compared to yesterday, keeping the coastline breezy into the interior valley. not as windy as yesterday, though. but by tomorrow, ridge of high pressure is expected to build in. when that ridge of high pressure builds in, temperatures are going to warm up and we'll remain dry the next several days. how long are we going to remain dry and how is our pollen count? closer look at that and what you can expect, coming up in 15 minutes. >> see you for that, vianey, thank you so much. truly miraculous news. valentine's day hike turned into a life or death struggle for a bay area couple in their 70s. after an eight-day search that turned to a recovery, both of

>> welcome back. nevada voters completed their caucus with what many are calling an impressive victory for senator bernie sanders. his win did raise some questions and at the same time answer some others. as the nation looks ahead to super tuesday, intelligence experts are once again warning that russians are interfering with the election process. nbc bay area political analyst larry gurstin joins us for both topics. let's first focus on nevada. what's your takeaway?

>> bernie sanders did cobble together whites, nonwhites, union voters, old voters. nevada would be the test of whether sanders could reach out to the spectrum of democrats and in nevada, he passed that test. those near the bottom of the list, pete buttigieg, elizabeth warren, amy klobuchar, the question of enough campaign funds becomes more important than ever. even tom steyer, the billionaire, who poured more than $1 million into nevada and won 4% of the vote, he needs to think about whether he has reason to continue in the race as well. >> and looking forward next saturday, we have the south carolina democratic primary. >> yeah. >> followed by super tuesday, which california will be involved in. i know this is an unfair question but what are you predicting? >> i predict -- we know this much. south carolina may be joe biden's last dance. that's all there is to it.

he must score a solid first-place victory there to buy some time. buttigieg, warren, klobuchar, even steyer have to improve if they have any hope of continuing in the race. if they quit, each have to think about whether he or she will support sanders, in warren's case, or coalesce with biden or bloomberg. it looms large for billionaire mike bloomberg, who has nearly spent, get this, $500 million building his campaign. an incredible amount of money. money and votes don't necessarily go together. for bloomberg, super tuesday, march 3rd, could be the moment when he forms a meaningful opposition to bernie sanders or clears the path for sanders nomination all the way through. >> that will be interesting to watch. and turning now to that other major political topic. new intelligence reports show that russians are working in

support of both president trump and senator bernie sanders. what do you think this says about the american election? trump is considering this is something that intelligence experts said we stopped four years ago. >> serious stuff. couple of points here, kira. first from the reports, it's clear in the intelligence reports it's clear that the russians have their favorite candidate. second, the russians like president trump because he's got -- consistently disagreed with the stream of intelligence supports citing russian interference from the 2016 election to the present day. third with respect to russian support for sanders, this is interesting, we know that president trump would like to run against sanders. trump feels that sanders would be the easiest candidate to beat. it may be the russians are supporting sanders for that same reason. all the democratic candidates

head-to-head against president trump do not point to a sanders candidacy. >> what do you think is likely to be the long-term impact to the russian interference? >> to vote for the republican or democratic candidate, no matter who they are, they always vote that way, for the democrat or the republican in the presidential election. in terms of swaying the voters, though, the ones in jeopardy are those trying to make up their minds. that could be 15, 20, 25% of the electorate this year. these people need to be careful about what they read, what they see. and that's difficult. there's one more point to consider here. it's a sad one. the very fact that we know that the russians are tempting to interfere may depress turnout with some people thinking, the election is fixed, so my vote doesn't matter.

the sad fact is that to the extent people feel that way, the russian russians regardless of election results. that's the kind of thinking that may have long-term effect on our democracy. there are some things beyond an election, beyond an event. and this russian deal here in terms of if they're impact on american thinking may be tough. >> our investigative unit sort of related, did an interesting report on deep fakes and how they're effecting elections. it shows how you can easily distort and shows something somebody didn't even say. >> is it really true? sometimes i have to deg a lot and how many people are going to dig that much? >> probably not. we'll be back with your final weather. it's time for the ultimate sleep number event on the sleep number 360 smart bed.

over 75 years of savings and service. good morning. it's 7:54 and here is a look at where we are right now when it

comes to our bay area skies. 48 degrees in the south bay. a beautiful start to our morning, 45. 49 degrees in the tri-valley, partly clear. san francisco, nice clearing through there. some areas are still seeing some fog, though. 49 degrees, including areas like the east bay. 53. cold up to the north bay. 37 degrees. here is a closer look at satellite radar. last night you may have noticed the wind started to pick up and we had a bit of a cooldown because of an onshore flow that brings in that cooler air from the ocean, right into our area. and that's kind of what's going to keep our temperatures at bay today, burning a few degrees cooler compared to yesterday. still comfortable. satellite radar is showcasing the dry conditions as well. we're not tracking any rain, but i'll go more into details in that in a second. microclimate highs for this afternoon, we're talking 60s, comfortable 64 in palo alto. upper 60s through concord and

antioch, north bay as well. 66 for napa. in the city, the fog will be a little slower to clear for the coastline and the peninsula. into the afternoon, those low cloud also have some nice clearing into the interior valleys. how are the winds doing? breezy winds last night. once again, we'll continue to see breezy conditions, mainly around the coastline. 15 miles per hour down through halfmoon bay and pick up once again between 3:00 and 5:00. if you have dinner plans, you may notice the wind picking up a little bit. how long is this dry weather going to continue for? well, as we head into tomorrow, tuesday, and wednesday, as you heard, we have that onshore flow. next up will be a high pressure system. begin to rebuild on the coast. we see this orange hue over the bay area. that means we'll be dry and warm up as much as, i would say, upper 70s, maybe even low 80s. next chance of rain, next weekend, not promising for rain.

all that is really going to do is kick up winds and bring more cloud cover for us for the weekend. as of now, we need the rain and we're certainly not seeing it in our final week of february. over the next seven days, here it is. patchy low clouds today as i mentioned. and solid clearing for monday, tuesday and wednesday. look at inland temperatures. we're talking 70s. as we head in toward friday and saturday, an increase in cloud cover but no rain in sight, at least not for the next seven days. we'll hold our bets on march, for the rain we didn't see on february. >> as we said, we'll enjoy this beautiful weather while we have it. at the same time, hope that the rain will come. >> absolutely. >> vianey, thank you. thanks for being part of our morning. we'll have more news at 4:30, 6:00 and 11:00 and all day on nbc bay area news.com. we hope you enjoy your sunday
